Was the Wii U announced at E3 2011 released in 2012?

I remember discussing this when the final Gamepad was shown, the shift from tablet to controller, going for comfort/third-parties/standards. Shame I can't find seem to find those old threads.

i wasn't part of the hype train back then, nor even aware about Wii U console until Mario Kart 8. :D

so all those stuff like the shuriken, golf and that add-on to the gamepad for a shooting game never really came out?

Golf and zapper don't, shuriken in a minigame in Nintendo Land but didn't work as good as the trailer.

That golf is out in Wii Sports Club's Golf. We didn't get the zapper add-on but there's a couple of gyro shooting in a few games.
